THE GALE.
A House Blown Down and Sew
eral UnrOOfed.


The high wind of Yesterday was pro
ductive of considerable anxiety and some
damage. While the travellers did moi
feel particularly pleased at the dust
which was swept in every direction by
the gale. they were not kept at home but
attended the Easter services in full
force. Early in the day news was re-.
ceived that house had blown down on
Hope street, between First and Second,
1t was afterward ascertained that it had
occurred just about dinner time, when
the families who occupied it were about
to refresh their innerselvts. The house
vas new having been built only about
month and was the property of Alvin
Glass. Il was cottage Of one story
and basement. and the upper part was
boarded in but the basement had been
left unfinished. It was 10 the un.
finished part that the wind OBJ
tanned its purchase power and as
the cottage was built on the side of hill
the pressure obtained was greater than
was the case on level ground. There
were two families in the upper part of
the cottage, Mrs. Gallup and son and
]. T. Williams, wife and five children,
and it was almost miracle that they es.
capped unhurt. Mrs. Gallup and son had
just seated themselves at the dinner.table
when they felt the house tremble vio-
lently, and they lost no time in making
hasty exit. The Williams family were
in the midst Of their dinner and had
hardly reached the door when the house
turned over and went to pieces with q
crash, wrecking their furniture and
crockery in Wholesale manper. 1t is
stated that one looking glass was unin.
jured. but everything else was damaged.
The cottage cost $500 and is total
wreck.
At the baseball ground the roof of the
new stand, which has only been in posi-
tion afew days. was lifted from its sup
ports aud blown q distance of about ten
feet.
The tin roof on new building on
Second street, between Fort and Hill
streets, blew off and was scattered in
pieces all over the neighborhood.
During the hight of the gale the tents
at the smallpox hospital were torn from
their fastenings and the contents scat
'ered in considerable confusion.
There were numerous trees blown
down in several parts of the city, and
some of the fimsy signboards gave way
early in the day. The streets dried up
very quickly under the influence of the
wind and hardly trace of the late rain
was left by 6 O'Clock.

structure is 1854 feet long, not including
its approaches, and the draw spring is
3O4 feet. 1t moves perfectly, opening
in one and tbree-fourths minutes. The
experience thus far indicates that the
bridge will be little obstruction to nsvi

The piers were built and the approac hes
were constructed when an injunction
was ked for and granted in the United
States court. The injunction was made
permanent and the case carried to the
United States Supreme court. The de-
cision in the United States Supreme
court in the Escanaba case, virtu lily

Injunction was removed. The work
was resumed last September and pushed
to completion. The Pacific bridge com
pany, O. San Francisco, were the build

How Sacramento Compares WITH
Los Angeles.

Los Angeles.
SACRAMENTO, October 26, 1887.
EDITORS HERALD---I spent = de-
lightful month in Los Angeles, and
while there saw so much in the Sacra-
mento papers about the superiority of
Sacramento and Sacramento valley
over Los Angeles and Southern Califor-
MIA that concluded to return East by
the Union Pacific, and stop few days
and see if what the Sacramento papers
said was true. ] have travelled over
the country adjacent to Sacramento,
and while there is evidence of good
crops and thrift in some few favored
localities, the whole valley compares
very unfavorably with Los Angeles
county. There are, in many locali
ties, evidences showing that but poor
crops were raised last summer, and
the 'tumble down" condition of many
of the farm buildings proves that
farming has not been a successful call
ing for some years past in the famous
Sacramento valley. / heard great
many complaints about fever and
ague and malarial fevers being very
prevalent in many localities, Nowhere
did / see such farm houses and farm
buildings as you see on every hand in
Los Angeles county.
But it is in the City OF Sacramento
that one notices the vast difference
between it and Los Angeles. The
first day that was here l devoted to
the stores and the business portion of
the town. l started out at 10 BOA. NJ.
at time when the stores are expected |
to be doing their best. / went into
many OF the leading stores on j street
and enquire d for such articles as thew
sold. In the majority Of cases was
the sole customer, although | re-
manned for 10 or Is minutes. Accus-
toned for the past month to the
crowded condition Of the stores in Los
Angeles, was forcibly struck by the
limited business done in Sacramento.
| went over all the street car lines in
the city, and l have ridden many a
time from an eighth to a quarter Of
mile the sole occupant Of the car.
You rarely see half a dozen people in
a street car at the same time. | will
venture the assertion that the Olive
street car line in Los Angeles alone
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-10-28

carries more passengers in day than
all the lines in Sacramento put to-
gether. On the streets you do not
meet one person in forty you would
meet in Los Angeles. There
is sickly smell pervading
the atmosphere of Sacramento that Is
ANYTHING but pleasant to one accus-
toned to the sea breezes OF Los An
eeles. They say here that this smell
comes from the river, and is noticed
but rarely. However that may be, 1t
has prevailed steadily since l came
here.
Sometime ago l saw statement in
a Sacramento paper that all the fine
fruit sold in Los Angeles was sent
from here, and that Sacramento labels
would be found upon all fruit boxes in
Los Angeles. | spent half day after
saw that statement looking over the
boxes in the fruit stores in your city,
and could not find single box bear
ing any northern mark or label upon
it. If / saw particularly fine box OF
pears or apples l asked the dealer
where it was grown, and in every case
the answer was that it was grown in
Los Angeles county. l have looked
the fruit stalls over here very carefully,
and have found no fruit to compare
with the Los Angeles fruit. l did see
two fine boxes of apples at a store on
J street, and the dealer to induce me
to buy, when l seemed uncertain as
to whether l would purchase, told me
they were remarkably fine Oregon
apples. ;,
In conclusion, let me say to all
Ell, tern men, who, like myself, want
to get at all the facts about California,
that all the talk in the Sacramento
and other northern papers about the
superiority of the northern part of the
State over the southern part is simply
barefaced lie. There is good land in
Northern California and, no doubt, a
careful man can do well here, but
Southern California in soil and climate
and people, and in thousand other
ways, is as far superior to it as day is
to night. have seen both. and when
return, shall settle in Los Angeles
the Paradise of America.
